Same. I got it right thanks to the years of kdramas and kvariety shows I watched.
Can someone explain the verb 같다 to me. Korean use it a lot in many different situations. Thanks
같다 means to be the same, but 같이 is not a conjugation thereof. 같이 means together.
Would this sentence also be correct 남자들은 도서관에서 같이 넘어집니다? Or does the location always have to be immediately before the verb?
I think that sentence is also correct but saying 같이 first makes sense too so i guess they both are correct.
What is the correct pronounciation of 같이? The voiceover sounds like "gatchi". But shouldn't it be more like "ga-ti", with the ㅌ, sound shifting over to pair with the ,이, to make 티?
I don't know if you've found the answer to this yet, but it is pronounced like "가치". This is because sometimes the ending consonant in a syllable interacts with the first letter of the next causing one of them to change. In this case a ㅌ at the end followed by a 이 makes a 치 sound.
The consonants ㅋㅌㅊㅍ are just like ㄱㄷㅈㅂ except they're aspirated, giving the illusion that they are pronounced differently then they actually are when put in that way.
I had The men together fall down at the library and it was wrong, is my English just bad?
Technically you're not wrong, but only if you had used commas. So it should be "The men, together, fall down at the library." "At the library, the men fall down together." "The men fall down together at the library"
Your English is great, but it would be more correct to say 'the men fall down together at the library'
Korean doesn't use a and the article like English does.
남자 could be a man or the man. But if you want specific something you could use 그, literally means that. 그남자 = that man or the man.
im new to the app! im trying to learn korean and i have skme prior knowledge but is this course for brushing up on knowledge? or learning? because the sentences that pop up i dont know all the words is that okay?
I am learning Korean IRL so I use this app just for practice, but as the comment below said, you can click on the words to see their meaning. If you ask me, Duo is good for learning new vocabulary, but not for new grammar.
yes, in korean the particle order is subject - object - verb. in english it's subject - verb - object. for example, in english you would say "my mother [subject] walked [verb] to the store [object]" but in korean this would be said as "my mother [subject] store [object] went to [verb]" there's definitely lots more to it than just that, but that's what i know thus far

In English the ADV can go at the end of the sentence. Report that your answer should also be accepted.
When I searched 남어집니다 on Google translate and papago naver translate, it translated to "will remain". How does it mean fall? Fall is being translated to 가을.
it's "넘", not "남". you're translating a completely different word. 넘어집니다 means fall as in falling: "the book fell to the floor." 가을 means fall, as in the season also known as autumn.
Can someone explain to me why sometimes -에 and sometimes-에서 is used as a particle that means at/in ?? Is 에서 used for plural??

-에서 is used when an action happens at a place. -에 is used for just being at a place. Jan. 5, 2020.
I'm not confused exactly, more wondering if anyone else would appreciate the turtle button on the long, very quickly spoken sentences, and also if the the translation or answer didn't cover the original text, if that makes sense? Because for me, when that happens, I cannot choose to concentrate my attention to correct an area of difficulty I may encounter by replacing and reinforcing it with the correct translation, because I can't see the original content to re read in order to identify my misunderstanding or misinterpretation to prevent the repetition of the same mistake.

For a normal sentence, it is OK. However, for me, this was a listening sentence, and so the words have to be in the order the speaker said them. Jan. 5, 2020.

에서 means an action verb happens at that place. The men fell at the library. [서 not 사 at the end]
How is this suppose to be translated into english. So if you leave it the way its typed (남자들은 같이 도서관에서 넘어집니다.) and take the symbols and their meaning, what would it say?
- 317
남자들은 = men or the men; 같이 = together; 도서관에서 = at the library; and
넘어집니다 = fall down.
So the translation is "The men fall down together at the library."
The translation "fall down together" does not have much meaning in English except if you consider it metaphorically... I hate the phrase really :/
How do you pronounce 같이? I thought it was 'gat-i' but Duolingo pronounces it like 'kachi'

When the ㅌ combines with the 이, the sound changes to 치. (It is just like "tion" in English. The "t" and "i" combine so the sound changes to "sh.")
